The CAPC (Centre of Contemporary Visual Arts) was created in 1973 by Jean-Louis Froment and installed in 1974 in the Entrepôt Lainé, an old warehouse for colonial foodstuffs, which would undergo renovation in the ensuing years. A mobile educational unit called the Artbus saw the light of day in 1975. Early exhibitions included ''Regarder Ailleurs'' (1973) where Claude Viallat rubbed shoulders with Gina Pane, Andy Warhol, Jim Dine and ''Pour mémoires'' (1975), with Christian Boltanski.
